I’ve always regarded the practice of law as one of the “helping” professions. I believe that attorneys should conduct themselves like doctors or ministers, serving as a trusted professional that people can turn to for help with their most important and sometimes most private concerns.

Lately, I’ve been fulfilling my creative side with filmmaking. It’s a collaborative medium requiring the participation of many kinds of creative artists. As a film producer I’ve recruited actors and crew, provided the overall context and project management and then gotten out of the way to let these talented people do what they do.

I’ve been practicing law for 32 years. I’ve been privileged to be involved in writing over 1,000 estate plans. For me estate planning isn’t a “product.” It’s a “process.” I help my clients identify their hopes for the future as well as their fears. Then we customize an estate plan uniquely suited for them. The result isn’t just a collection of legal documents. It’s Peace of Mind.
